Combine the creme fraiche and horseradish cream in a small bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Place wine and stock in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the lentils, onion and tarragon. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until the lentils are warmed through.

Step 3

Meanwhile, rub the salmon with olive oil and season with salt. Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.

Step 4

Divide the lentil mixture and spinach leaves among serving plates. Top with the salmon and a dollop of the creme fraiche mixture. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Delicious. Really quick and easy and packed full of well-balanced, complimentary flavours. I didn't have any creme fraiche so I used natural yoghurt instead with great results. I also fried the onions a bit first to soften them just because I prefer them that way,

This is a 20 minute, tasty weeknight meal. I added a little sweet corn to the salad leaves for sweetness. Went down a treat!

Loved the lentils, but though the flavour was a bit too strong to for the salmon. Would be much nicer with steak instead especially given there's red wine in there. The horsraddish cream mix was lovely and went really well with the salmon. Sure, I would cook this again, but would serve the lentils with a juicy steak not salmon.

Nice healthy, light meal. Not to my kids' liking, but definitely one for the adults. Would make again for sure.

In a word - SUPERB
So easy and ready in under 20 minutes with a taste that is perfectly balanced and wants you to come back again. They say that simple food is often the best, this proves that saying...
I LOVE IT and is now on my regular list

Very tasty and simple to make. The horseradish sauce really makes this dish.

Really lovely. My husband actually liked this. He normally cannot stand salmon. I was concerned that the horseradish and creme fraiche might be too over power, but it was perfect! So easy to cook.

Delicious! I forgot to buy horseradish so for the sauce I made: Creme fraiche, seeded mustard and chopped fresh tarragon. The rest was made following the recipe, I will definitely make this again.
